What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

B: bacon and 2 eggs, 2x coffee substitutes with cream
L: not needed
D: will be slow cooked lamb, tom, aubergine, etc (can no longer remember what I put in it. ) Will have a coyo later.

Edited: impulse change of plan! Avocado, salsa and baked eggs with cheese on top - instead of lamb, which will be tomorrow instead. Delish!

Tonight I tried LCHF Toad in the hole - this recipe:

http://christinebailey.co.uk/recipe/paleo-toad-in-the-hole/

I had to buy Tapioca starch via Amazon - and Almond Flour from Holland & Barrett, neither cheap!

For the two of us I did 2/3 recipes, calculated it to be around 13g per serving.

The finished dish:



Taste results: actually pretty good. I'm probably super critical, my partner said he loved it! A little coconut'y so I would fry sausages in olive oil - still try it with the coconut milk next time, but maybe then with almond milk if still coconut'y.

Also, needed a little longer than 20 minutes, I had oven at 180 fan, maybe 200 fab for 22 minutes or so would be good. A little soggy - but a good crust on it.

So, maybe not a Michelin Star dinner but would definitely make it again - with a slight refinement.
 
Lovely pic!

B: 2 rashers bacon and 2 eggs with a herb tea
L: small portion of lamb stew (med veg)
D: small portion of pork stew (aubergine and peppers)
S: 2 squares 70%

One of those days for finishing leftovers

Went on a midday 3hr course in Indian cookery today to see how I could adapt basic recipes. I found I'm already doing it thanks to tips I picked up on this forum I sampled the sauces a lot as they were being made and the only off-limits thing I ate was a small pakora (deep fried veg and gram flower). So today ...
B Usual fry-up thingy
L Pakora & several tsps curry sauce
D1 Chicken curry (meat only)
D2 2-egg frittata with bacon, tomato, mushroom & cheese
S Slice warmed stracciatella cake with double cream
